Charger with hub
Abstract
A charger includes an enclosure, a charging circuit received in the enclosure., a latching member and a pair of elastic members. The enclosure defines a matching groove. The pair of elastic members are electrically connected to the charging circuit and are mounted on opposite sidewalls of the matching groove. The latching member is mounted in the matching groove, and is flexible. The present disclosure further provides a hub matching with the charger. The hub includes a main body, a circuit unit, a bulge and a pair of conductive pieces. The main body defines a receiving groove. The bulge protrudes from a bottom of the receiving groove. The pair of conductive pieces are electrically connected to the circuit unit and are located at opposite sidewalls of the bulge. A sidewall of the bulge defines a latching hole, and the latching member latches with an edge of the hole.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedWhat is claimed is:
1 . A charger, comprising:
an enclosure comprising a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and a sidewall connected with the first surface and the second surface, the first surface defining a fitting groove for fitting an electronic device, wherein a matching groove is defined at a connection of the second surface and the sidewall, and the matching groove comprises a floor, a pair of opposite first sidewalls, and a second sidewall connected with the first sidewalls; and a charging circuit received in the enclosure; a pair of elastic members located on the pair of opposite first sidewalls and electrically connected to the charging circuit; and a flexible latching member comprising a hook partly received in the matching groove.
2 . The charger of claim 1 , wherein the second surface of the enclosure comprises a groove extending to the matching groove, the groove comprises a main portion and an extension extending from an end of the main portion, the extension is bent and extends through the floor of the matching groove to the second sidewall.
3 . The charger of claim 2 , wherein the latching member further comprises a plate fixed in the main portion of the groove, the hook extending from an end of the plate is received in the extension of the groove and is convexly arranged with the matching groove.
4 . The charger of claim 3 , wherein a quantity of the extension of the groove is two, the two extensions extend from two sides of a end of the main portion toward the matching groove, a quantity of the hook of the elastic member is two, the two hooks are correspondingly received in the two extensions and convexly arranged in the matching groove.
5 . The charger of claim 1 , wherein the pair of first sidewalls each comprise a slot passing through the sidewall and the floor, and the pair of elastic members are respectively secured in the slots.
6 . The charger of claim 5 , wherein the pair of elastic members each comprise an electrode contact and a connector extending from an end of the electrode contact, the electrode contact is arched and extends into the matching groove, and the connector fixed in the slot is electrically connected with the charging circuit.
7 . A hub matched with a charger, comprising:
a foundation comprising a first side, a second side opposite to the first side and a base side connected with the first side and the second side; a circuit unit received in the foundation; an antenna connected with the circuit unit for receiving signals; a holder for receiving the charger, the holder being concavely located at a connection of the base side and the second side, the holder comprising a bottom parallel to the first side, a pair of opposite first lateral walls, a second lateral wall connected with the pair of opposite first lateral walls; a bulge mounted in the holder; and a pair of conductive pieces electrically connected to the circuit unit secured at two opposite sides of the bulge forward the first lateral walls, a side of the bulge adjacent to the second lateral wall defining a concave hole engaged with a hook of the charger.
8 . The hub of claim 7 , wherein the bulge received in the holder extends from the bottom of the holder and toward the first side.
9 . The hub of claim 7 , wherein a pair of fixing grooves are respectively located at two opposite sides of the bulge forward the first lateral walls, the pair of fixing grooves being perpendicular to the bottom, and the pair of conductive pieces are correspondingly mounted in the pair of fixing grooves.
10 . The hub of claim 7 , where a quantity of the concave hole is two.
11 . The hub of claim 7 , wherein the second side of the foundation comprise a jack connecting to a power.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
